I did the EAP and it worked out really well. I believe we’re still offering it.

Unfortunately Silver isn't offering this anymore.. I tried a few weeks ago . .

 

It does not look like they are accepting applications for the EAP at this time. I applied a year ago did not hear anything trying to re apply.

 

I'm also looking for some recent interview gouge information.

 

1) Phone interview with a Silver Airways recruiter; this is basically an initial screening to see if you meet the minimum qualifications; certificates, flight hours, 1st class medical, FCC license, passport, etc. The recruiter may ask a few questions similar to: Why do you want to work at Silver? What do like about flying? What don't you like about flying?

2) Online test: you will be emailed a link to an online test consisting of 40 questions with a time limit of 45 minutes. The questions are on Jepp charts, IFR regs, airspace, holding procedures, speeds limits, METAR/TAF. Straight forward questions no gotchas.

3) Interview in KFLL or Skype Interview: usually with the Chief Pilot and a recruiter and possibly HR. Verify qualifications. Questions similar to: Why do you want to work for Silver? What do you expect from your employer? What does professionalism/leadership mean to you? TMAAT: How did you handle a conflict with CA/FO? Describe a difficult situation while flying and how did you handle it? How did you handle a disagreement with a coworker? Describe a time you went above and beyond for a passenger.

You will usually receive a response from the company about a week after the interview.

 

Thank you Jonny Skyhawk. This is spot on 100% good info for anyone looking to interview at Silver. I will add, they may ask about your 3 strenghts and 3 weakness. Very relaxed and easy process.

 

A friend of mine asked where he should begin his airline career. He just now got enough time to get his ATP.

The Silver route structure looks like it would be a fun place to work. I suggested he check into it.

Is Silver a fun place? Yah, I noticed the pay (or lack thereof), but is it fun?

 

“Fun” don’t pay the bills son!!

 

Is commuting from PNS possible?

 

Yes.

There have been Silver crew members who commuted between PNS and MCO. And, I have also seen crew members from American, Spirit, Frontier, Jet Blue and Delta commute between PNS and either FLL or MCO on our flights.
